Matthew Carter on untypical typefaces
The Best of the World's Creativity/Recorded 2013
A close reading, kept within reach.
Matthew Carter takes graphic design & illustration as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in USA in 2013, the conversation is grounded in Matthew's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
In his talk at Design Indaba 2013, type designer Matthew Carter gives insight into the creation of unusual typefaces.
